The Knife-Wielding Young Lord

Xiao Jue, a recent university graduate in the modern world, died in a mountain flood while trying to save someone. Moved by his plight, the Lord of the Underworld allowed him to live again in another world. After his soul crossed over, he spent fifteen years coming to terms with his otherworldly self, living through fifteen years in a half-awake, half-delirious state. When he finally came to his senses, he discovered that his parents had been murdered and died on the battlefield, their bodies never recovered. His entire family had been exiled to the frozen wastelands of the Northern Border. And so the young man set out from the Northern Border, defeating bandits, putting down rebel armies, venturing into the martial world, and killing the northern invaders. At last, he uncovered the truth behind what happened and cleared the Xiao family's name. But the young man's story was only just beginning. Immortals from the Upper Realm, mysterious beasts, and hidden sects all stirred his heart and spurred him to strive forward. Watch as this young gentleman holds fast to his principles in a world of cultivation where the strong prey on the weak. With a sharp blade in hand and thunder at his command, he will carve out a path to the heavens. No matter how difficult the road ahead, a young man should always meet it with his head held high.
